I've been watching that stock slide deeper into the abyss for a few months. This past 2 weeks alone was brutal. Once it goes under $10 I'm goin innnn

It's time for Vince to man up and step down. HHH needs to run this company as the sole leader, so many stupid decisions have been made by Vince and HHH has had to salvage things over and over again, just like he did putting Bryan in the main event of WMXXX

You are giving Steph a pass. I think the company has taken a downturn since she got heavily involved in the product. She is the one that brought in these shytty Hollywood writers. In the past, Vince did dumb shyt but he always had wrestling people around him to reign him in. Now they just making bad decisions and it doesn't seem like anyone can talk sense to them.

losing $10 million is really not that much to be honest. The up-side to the Network is possibly alot higher now that they got rid of the 6-month contract. But I think if they never had that 6-month contract to begin with, they'd be sitting pretty right now.

People would've stuck around month-to-month just like they do Netflix.

But In a year where ur two top stars, Punk and bryan are out of commission, and you have to call some major audibles, it's really not that bad, BUSINESSWISE. Creatively it's bad but that's another issue.

It's a lot harder now without the commitment. Let's look at the month of December. It's a complete placeholder. What's the incentive not to wait til the rumble to re-up? WWE has go engage year round heavily and not just Mania season and big summer angle for Summerslam

nah, ppl are more likely to let it slide month to month when they're only dropping $10

Some People dont even watch Netflix much, but pay for it every month b/c it's so cheap. But if Netflix said, "you gotta pay $55 and you're locked into a 6 month commitment", alot of those ppl would cancel.

It's just human nature in some ways. And in the internet age, ppl dont like being told what to do.

People are likely to watch Survivor Series in Nov, and just stay signed up w/ Royal Rumble right around the corner. They're not gonna cancel for December, then re-sub again a month later.

Target the show to kids and complain nobody is buying your network brehs.

Maybe if they made their target audience akin to the UFC's demographic, more people would be signing up. Kids outchea playing Call of Duty and cursing at each other and Vince is trying to sell them a 40 year old white guy in illuminous shirts making Sexual Chocolate jokes. Bottom line is the writing ain't about anything worth knowing about.

They had the 18-35 audience on lock and let them go over to MMA. The PG-era worked for house show attendance and merchandize sales but parents aren't buying PPVs or the network for their kids. There is a woman at my job whose son watches WWE and I asked her if she was going to get the network for him. She hit me with the :childplease: and said "3 hours on Monday and 2 hours on Friday is more than enough"

Exactly. They need to dump these kids off and make for that MMA demo. Over in the UK there's a Boxing channel called Boxnation and they got a £9.99 a month deal. I ordered it for the Mayweather fight and ended up keeping it on 5-6 months down the line anyway just in case. That's where the E will get their registrations.

Offering archived PPV's is one way of hooking people in too but you're gonna have to give those people new material too or they'll bounce. Quick.

As a youth I was a huge huge WWE SuperStan, watched every show they had every week religiously, daydreamed of murdering Ted Turner for the cause, all that, but my mom never even let us get the $15 IYH pay per views. Cater to kids brehs

Now,I got enough to buy me 100 network subscriptions, shiiet,
